Rei Hiroe

Rei Hiroe(広江 礼威,Hiroe Rei?, born 5 December 1972) is a Japanese manga artist who is more recently known for his latest manga, Black Lagoon. When he is working on doujin comics he goes by the name Tex-Mex. Hiroe's manga were originally published by Kadokawa Shoten in the 1990s but none were complete. As a response Hiroe transferred to Shogakukan in the early 2000s, where all of his manga released before Black Lagoon were republished and re-released.
